It should have been captains, I have since corrected the posts.
Although I never quite understand the use of the name 'captain' in tennis as you normally think of a captain as someone who is playing.
I wonder what other sports use the name 'captain' in this way?

I had to look this one up - but the Orient Express is complex. It does run Paris - Vienna and it seems that's it these days. But it used to run Paris - Istanbul in its heyday. And when that service finished in 1977 it ran Paris - Budapest/Bucharest until 2001. Finally it ran Paris - Vienna. And then there's the Venice Simplon Orient Express which runs London - Paris - Venice. This is all in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orient_Express). So which was taken as the correct answer? Paris - Istanbul?
Oh yeah, the honeybee is a domesticated insect.

Sure did go to Turkey. That's why the orient bit.
Also Cyprus got (or was?) divided into a Greek part and a Turkish part after they had a war.
Im not allowed to answer the questions as I was there on the night.
